1. BLOG SHOOTS & SOCIAL MEDIA SHOOTS

are defined with the sole purpose of photographing content to be posted to a website, blog, social media account, and/or in email marketing owned by client or managed by agency on behalf of client.

Blog Shoots & Social Media Shoots are booked by the hour. Typically, 3-5 outfits can be photographed within one hour. The hour of photography may be used to photograph outfits, products, sponsored posts, lifestyle posts, health, fitness, recipes, etc. for blog photos or social media content. 

It is recommended to book blog photos 1-2 weeks in advance. We are able to consult on locations and times for blog and social media shoots. The standard travel reimbursement rate will be charged for locations outside of Dallas.

Up to 75 photos per hour will be edited to correct color tone and lighting and will be delivered within 7-10 business days unless otherwise stated. Photos will be delivered online via PixieSet to be downloaded in the appropriate resolution for web sizing. An invoice will be emailed after the photo shoot to be paid online with credit card within 15 days of it being sent. Checks made out to BECKLEY Photography are also accepted.

THIRD-PARTY INTEREST (SHARING PHOTOS):

We love seeing your work shared by businesses and brands, but because this is a relatively new field, standards can be misunderstood or overlooked, but we are here to help! If a business, brand, company, website, or any other third party outside of your photographer or yourself wishes to use your photos, please contact us (your photographer) and we will either share or sell the photos with or to the interested party. 

Blog photos are sent to the blogger with a print/publishing release that gives permission only to the client to use the photos. Sharing photos without the consent of the photographer is a breach of contract and will be addressed as such. 

2. PORTRAITS & EVENT PHOTOS

will be billed according to the scope of the project. Inquire via hello@beckleyphoto.com for prices and packages. The price includes access to all photos that are edited and shared online via Pixieset. Up to 50 photos per hour of photographing will be edited to for color and lighting and will be delivered within two weeks unless otherwise stated. An invoice will be emailed after the photo shoot or event to be paid online via PayPal within a week of it being sent. There is no obligation to mention BECKLEY & Co./BECKLEY Photography online, but credit is appreciated.
